2011 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · OY11 YUH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a transition toward developing wear-related defects. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 104,787 miles, the car initially failed due to an offside rear tyre with tread depth below legal limits. While it passed upon re-test, the tester flagged four separate advisories regarding the rear suspension assembly. This indicates that components are now beginning to reach the end of their functional life despite the previous clean records. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady annual usage, moving from 91,313 miles in November 2022 to 104,787 miles by late 2025. This consistent interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of neglect or extreme high mileage. The lack of any recorded defects between 2022 and 2024 implies that the vehicle was well-maintained during that period. A buyer should prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry. The November 2025 record noted worn bushes on both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms, along with play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. These issues often lead to uneven tyre wear and degraded handling quality if not addressed soon. Additionally, the noted external damage to the nearside rear shock absorber casing should be checked for signs of oil leakage, which would indicate an imminent internal failure of the component.
